If it takes that long for a employee to become useful then the company has much bigger issues and the need to compensate for whatever it is that makes those 2 years of experience so vital.
- johan_larson 9y agoIf a company has a large and old codebase with lots of interacting systems built with a lot of specialized tooling, it can take a while for a new arrival to get on par with the rest of the team. Two years is a lot, but six months to a year sounds very believable. Imagine trying to wrap your head around the Windows codebase or the Google ad serving stack.
